With a state-of-the-art GOTO Star Machine in our Planetarium the only one you’ll see in the entire Northeast and brand new exhibits throughout the Museum, there has never been a better time to book your group visit!

Students improve their skills by using hands-on, minds-on learning, including interactive demonstrations and experimentations. Programs are geared to a variety of learning styles and include hands-on exploration, Q & A discussions and participatory demonstrations. Plus, we are the only Planetarium in the entire region where every show is hosted by an educator and includes a tour of the seasonal night sky. Click here for a copy of the 2008-09 School Brochure.
